Question

Where is acceleration due to gravity maximum?


Open in App
Solution

  1. Gravitational acceleration at a height of h above the surface g=g12hR whereas g' is gravity maximum and g refers to gravitational force , h refers to height.
  2. This implies that when we rise higher above the earth's surface, our acceleration due to gravity diminishes.
  3. We haveh=0 on the surface. Thus, g=g is the acceleration owing to gravity at the surface (maximum).
  4. At the center of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity is also zero. As a result, gravity's acceleration is greatest at the earth's surface.
